The lowering from the prototype looks just right, imo. The "S200" is a nice addition.

Rick and Sam,

GREAT job on the windscreen. It looks terrific (especially with the logo!!) and will no doubt be very effective. Sign me up!!

My girlfriend is going to love you for this Rick. If I could find a way to put 14 of these on my car, I would. OK, not 14, but I'm definately in for 1!

Even though I'm not completely sold on how it might look in person yet, if the price is right I'll still be in for one. I can't get over how awesome the S2000 logo looks!

Rick, I think it looks great. Would you consider making a version with a smaller logo and maybe off set to one side near the bottom. I personally, think subtleness = a more classic look. One other suggestion. I think keeping it nice and tall is great and more effective, but not at the expense of a perfect fit. Please consider trimming it down just enough so that it can be lowered and raised without making contact with the plastic window. For me (and many others), complete compatability with the vehicle's original design is a clear sign of a high quality accessory. Besides, what are we talking here, maybe a 1/4 to 1 full inch? What do you think?

I think it looks great as is. Count me in.
Will the edges where it is cut be polished?
It will look cleaner if they are.

Just wondering if you tried cleaning the inside of the window with the new screen in place... It's tough with the stock one, how is it with the new one?

We didn't try, but when we folded the new aeroscreen back, it dropped into the well with about 1-2" clearance from the bottom. When the aeroscreen is folded back, the window is accessible as it would normally be, so cleaning the window should not be any more difficult than it normally is.

S2KPHX, Yes the edges will be polished, or to put it another, rounded so there are no sharp edges. The top edge, in particular, will have a "bull-nose" rounded finish, just like the stock screen.
